Adafruit has announced the arrival of the new
Raspberry Pi PoE Hat, making it available for US$ 20. Features of the Raspberry Pi
PoE Hat include : 802.3af PoE, fully isolated switched-mode power supply,
37–57V DC, Class 2 device, 5V/2.5A DC output and 25x25mm temperature-controlled
brushless fan to help keep everything running a little cooler.
Simply attach the standoffs in the four corners of
the HAT, then connect to the 40-pin header. Once the HAT is connected, you can
power your Pi through the RJ-45 network connector. “Power over Ethernet (PoE)
can make your project wiring a breeze – instead of needing a wire for power and
data, you can use one Ethernet cable for both” explains Adafruit.
For more details either jump over to the official
Raspberry Pi Foundation website or if you are based in the United States visit
the Adafruit online store to purchase your very own for US$ 20.
